Chest Pain Center

Gwinnett Medical Center’s Chest Pain Center is nationally accredited and works in collaboration with our highly efficient Emergency Department. It’s designed to give patients who are having heart and chest pains a rapid diagnosis and treatment. Our Chest Pain Center uses the most advanced diagnostic techniques and equipment. Each evaluation is performed by a team of emergency medicine physicians, cardiologists, nurses and technicians who specialize in cardiac care.

Heart attack signs and symptoms:

Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes

If you are a female, you might experience these symptoms or you may not. Several leading studies have shown that female heart attack symptoms usually include shortness of breath, weakness and unusual fatigue. Often, women don’t experience traditional chest pains. They may suffer from lower chest discomfort, back pain, nausea and dizziness.

If you have any of these heart attack symptoms, get help immediately by calling 911.
